Starfleet Approved Admiral Pike appreciation thread

[pookha]

It isn't just you. I thought he was too much of a pretty boy when he was young.

which oddly enough would also apply to jeffery hunter's pike.

though i really like greenwood and the others have done with pike in the film.

i could see pike becoming this person after his experience on talos.
during the cage he went from someone tired of the responsibilities of command to someone who has gotten back his mojo.

i think i first remember greenwood when he was in nowhere man.

Just thought you might like to know.

Please tell CD that there's a DVD available and that he's shirtless (or even nekkid) at some point....

There's good news, and there's bad news.

The good news: Based on the one picture from IMDB, if he's not naked, he is definitely not overdressed.

The bad news: it appears to only be available on VHS, which the picspammer owns, and is having converted to DVD. Bless her obsessed little heart.

Well, that's a relief. I was mad Netflix didn't have it. That explains things.

So these days if I got a good look at him, I'd walk into a wall and give myself a concussion.

and

Ohhhhhh, yeah. Well, I like to think that I wouldn't actually walk into a wall, but it would be a near thing, I can tell you that.

Is it me or does Greenwood look better older than when he was younger ?

its just you. and me. and a few hundreds other BBSers . . .

I think his Pike is better than Jeffrey Hunter's, but I hadn't thought of him as any sort of "hunk".

 

[iluthradanar]

I recall a movie with him playing an android created as the perfect man for some woman. She found him too perfect and had him reprogrammed, resulting in him becoming a jealous whacko. Yeah, a real man. I preferred the home-cooking, flower-bringing, sexually sensitive perfect android. He was hot back then, but as an older man.........no less so.

 

[Tribbles]

I'm 24, so Pike may be a little bit old for me. But he is a handsome man, no doubt... and he just has charisma, you know? The voice, the walk. He oozes leadership. He's a man. Though I guess it's not hard to look manly when your crew's average age is 25.

Late to the party, but jumping in to say HELLO NURSE. I have a thing for Silver Foxes, and as much as I love Jeffrey Hunter (and believe me, I do) there's something about the twinkle in Greenwood's eye that just makes me melt. I've spent the last six months writing Pike/Number One, and I have a whole future timeline mapped out for him (with no Talosians of J-class cruisers with wonky baffle plates in sight) and I am LOVING that in the new film, Pike actually has a future. His fate in "The Menagerie" never sat well with me.

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Welcome Tara! I'd like to see more of Greenwood/Pike in the next film as well...as long as he is "out of the chair" (wheelchair that is).

 

[Starquest]

Oh, I love Bruce Greenwood. A friend of mine who has been a fan for a while says he's been called a "renaissance man." Has a band I'm told. I'll have to find out what kind of music they play. I didn't watch "Nowhere Man" but I hear it was a really good series. And he was awesome in Star Trek XI. I hope they bring him back.

 

[Tara]

Everyone on the production really loved Greenwood, and the fans adore him, so I think it's likely they'd find a way to bring him back if it serves the story.

Can't wait to get my DVD. Can't wait to get my DVD. Can't wait to get my DVD. Can't wait to get my DVD. Can't wait to get my DVD. Can't wait to get my DVD...........
